Oh c'mon it's not like I even have my spray installed. On another note it looks like a new rearend will be my first order of business, mine is nearly dead.

I failed to notice that you just mounted your nitrous switches to the pillar gauge pod. Baller. Only wait until you get pulled over and they are asking questions like "oh hey what are all these for?"

Decided to work on the nitrous setup over the weekend. I built a plate to hold the electronics for the NX MAX II system. This is really starting to turn out trick. I've been lucky in getting everything to play nice and hide behind factory items. The board is 5/8" MDF with charcoal fleck carpet to look OEM. I used the seat belt restraint bolt to mount the board securely and it worked beautifully. I will need to start wiring the different electronic modules this weekend and hopefully my parts order from Nitrous Outlet / Speed INC. will be here by friday.
PS: On a side note I just want to say that Speed INC. and Nitrous Outlet have been fantastic to work with, especially Chris @ Nitrous Outlet.

Worked on the car for a little bit tonight and finished installing my blow down tube to the rear of the car. I used all pro-line black -8AN fittings. Black nylon hose with a 90 and a bulkhead to vent to atmosphere. It turned out very clean

So I finally got all of the connections to the bottle completed. Nitrous Express Remote bottle opener sender (works with the program in your laptop), DynoTune remote opener head, DynoTune heater pad relay control, and the DynoTune N2O sending unit. It was a lot of stuff to get on the bottle just right so I could use the -4AN spin down fastening wing for the nitrous line. It looks like all of the small items are out of the way on the physical bottle. I'm just waiting for all my noids and then I can install them and start wiring some of the small electronics. I also still need to figure out where and how I'm going to mount my purge block.

Better question is why would you not put it back there. All of the nitrous stuff is basically right there, you can't possibly put all your gauge wiring (N2O psi, Wide band O2, nitrous microcenter,), (waterpump watchdog, aeroforce interceptor gauge), console plate controls (line lock, SLP hi/lo fan switch, E-cutout), NX maximizer II units, and laptop connection up under the dash, not to mention it won't be easily accessible. I see too many nice setups that don't take into consideration all the demands and benefits of a good electronic control center. I have everything that is aftermarket wired to one main panel at the easiest access point. You simply take off your spare tire cover and you can test or replace any fuse location right on the spot. I also have all the relays for the nitrous setup sitting right next to my fuse panel. Diagnostically speaking this setup makes it a snap. The whole setup is non-invasive to the vehicle, it can just be unbolted and removed if I every choose to return everything to stock.

PS: check this link out and it may answer better why I chose the passenger rear compartment.

Here are a few update pics from last weekend. I finally got all the parts I needed to mount the solenoids to the N/O plate and I mounted everything on the intake. I just need to measure the fuel line and purge line and have them custom made to length. I should be mounting the bottle in the package area as soon as I get my mount kit from N/O .

Like a racecar not a street car. I like your install but then I dont. I just think its all clutter in there and is for show, but then again you have a show car. Looks good but then it dont

Yes, sometimes I like having the STB, but other times I want to take it off so you can see the engine better. Either way, it's a street car so I think the STB should stay
Thanks for the compliments and your engine looks fantastic!
PS: Do you have any more pics of your purge setup. I'm currently trying to figure mine out and I want to do it as clean an non-invasive as possible. How did you run the purge line through your cowl?

I personally do not like it that much and have more tubing sitting on my work bench in order to "hide" it better.

Another quick update: I got some small items setup tonight. Installed the LT1 hardline kit from the plate to the solenoids. I had a local place piece together a custom 12" line for my FPSS to the fuel noid. Received my -4AN fuel filter, purge fittings and a short length of purge tubing. I'm going to bend a purge line and have it come through the cowl with a aluminum V-block for purging the line. I should be able to start running the main -4AN nitrous line to the front of the car, but I have to finish installing the FPSS and sensor for reading the fuel pressure electronically through my Aeroforce gauge. Hopefully I can hook that up this weekend 
I'm getting close to finishing the setup and I installed the 100 shot jets tonight so I can start out tuning the NX MAX II progressive controller. After I'm comfortable with that setup I will step up to the 150 or maybe 175 shot I only wish I had been this close about 45 days ago. The weather is going to start getting bad and the car will have to be put to sleep for the winter 
Here is a pic of the remaining parts:
